I had actually done screencasting back closer to week 8. I couldn't, however, do any Screencast-O-Matics, as I don't have Java on my computer. So I posted Arrested Development instead, as Veronica was around to show me how to do that! But I guess that wasn't the assignment.
I can imagine many screencast opportunities: how to put a book on hold; how to search Ebsco; how to log into Telus, or make your own computer reservation. And many more. When talking with my colleagues about it, the only drawback we could come up with was that we'd need headphones at all our computer stations! Though now that I've watched the screencast that came with mapbuilder, I can see you wouldn't necessarily need headphones. I actually see this as one of the most applicable 2.0s yet.

Hi Leereer,
Great ideas for using screencasting in libraries. I hadn't thought of needing headphones at computer stations - but you're right! We'd have to create some that worked with only visuals - and leave out the audio.
If your library creates any screencasts, be sure and let me know! We'll be working on some here on our end, too.
Great work on Project Play! I hope you're inspired to keep on playing more, learning more, and fearing less!
Jean
